Soft tail Brakes
Recently Trailered my Bike from Ft. benning GA to Portland OR, went through major altitude changes and temps. when I off loaded my bike the rear brake pedal went all the way down. was working fine before, master cylinder is not leaking and there is plenty of fluid. any Ideas..I will start with bleeding acts like air, I pump them and they work once or twice. dont see how air got in though. can trailering cause this.?

RE: Soft tail Brakes
Strange...don't really see how simply trailering your bikewould cause a brake failure...and as far as elevation changes go I routinely ride from 5,000ft. (starting point) to 8,000 ft.+ elevations and have had no brake issues...I'd flush out the old brake fluid completely and refill w/ FRESH (as in brand new) DOT #4...bleed it good and go from there.

RE: Soft tail Brakes
Oh well tried everything. went ahead and ordered a master cylinder kit its the last thing it could be. So strange no leaks , no air , nothing. Holds pressure sitting there then I roll it out to the street and then no pressure. Brakes were working fine as i put it on the trailer. oh well. thanks for the suggestions.
